[cratenerd]

Ill. It's weird to think this music was used for a childrens program on WGBH back in 70. There are a couple originals on Ebay right now.

[gedbeat15]

those kids grew up on some funky music then.

[GeniusOfTheBay]

This is such a badass song. What are some other songs/artists like this?

[aarontimberlake]

Gentle giant is dope

[mikeygeneral]

I got caught in the end part !

The vocals were illest.

"Once i was a pirate" - Shout out to the Somalian Pirates. Take back what's your's. You been living without for too long and owe your ancestors the right to steal back the diamonds that were taken from you by "Him". Aww man... look at the overthrown slaves dance on the water for you. Shout out to the dead slaves from Afrikue and the son's who now trod the earth lost and secretly rejoice at African pirates.

[taxi4lacey]

when I typed in 'Stark Reality - Dreams' I've got to admit I was surprised to see a shout out to the somalian pirates

[LESHKING]

hahahahahh what?!?!?!

[Lovafunk69]

Wild man!

[SYDSTL80]

that guitar made my nose bleed!

man that was dope!

[deenraida]

Cot Damn!

[fmd805]

favorite shit right here...thank god for Stones Throw for re releasing all this

[turbomoonie]

[bigruss813]

[henryhansun]

The end piece got me. "Once I was a pirate........"

[iklipse]

[KenPatera78]

Awesome tune!!!

[DZA9mm]

Mf DooM???

[nickpov3y]

yea i woulda fort

[DZA9mm]

I forgot what song he use this for..

[Marcell2aG]

So fresh and vibrant. It's like a candy shop for a beat maker. I just don't know where to start with a sample.

[nickpov3y]

i no

[burn550cl]

Who ever put this up, much respect. Its hard to find abstract and/or avant garde music such as this. mucho gusto.

[chinesecommunist]

Goddamn!

[micr0cosm]

I think 10 000 of those views are by me lol...hope you are well G :P

[Xaltus]

Damn...do you HEAR THOSE RHODES!?

They are playing all the right f*cking tunes!!

X

[Chateauonlinnani]

That's not Rhodes what you're hearing.. It's Monty playing vibraphone :)

[Xaltus]

Wow, those are DEEP vibraphones!

I really like that sound. Sound very similar to the Rhodes piano lol.

Great music!

X

[imcurtis206]

my friend was trying to convince me that vibes are lame, but i mean....roy ayers, gary burton, monty stark....he was a total madman on acting, thinking, feeling

[Fwickie]

didn't expect to like anything like it :) this is amazing!

[fredottman]

Beautiful, beautiful music. My brother and I bought the original...but buy the reissue. It's just really good music. Everyone should be able to hear how good it really is and not have to break the bank to do it!

[soulfullysoulful]

Yo! I litterally come here and listen to this song everyday...FIRE man!

[incrediblecHiller]

i know the feeling...

this record is on heavy rotation.

[rafapat]

@soulfullysoulful use a program that converts youtube videos into mp3s!!! 

[ModernArtistRev]

that was a crazy beat! This track is 8 minutes of owning fools!

[ThomasEatsPomus]

I know I could always google this, and I have tried but with limited results (no wiki on the band, lol).

So this was a jazz-fusion-esque band from the 60s... where does Stone Throw Records and PBW and all of these heavily underground rap acts come into play with these guys? What is the linkage between the two? I have heard Dreams/Comrades on STR's MySpace years ago and it starts with the first 2 minutes of this song. I'd just really like to get more into these guys... thanks in advance.

[storied]

google "stark reality" -- "Stark Reality has been sampled by the likes of Main Source, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Kenny Dope, J-Live, Madlib, Cut Chemist, Sixtoo, Cage, Black Moses, and the Black Eyed Peas."

[incrediblecHiller]

Monty Stark, the Band Leader, has a very good homepage with lots of info about him, his band and his other projects.

you should find it easily if you google his name!

[chapeauetbarbe]

Anyone can add info to Wiki Thomas.

[imoorhouse]

stones throw just re issued their music....PBW and EGON are pretty good at reissuing records they believe people should hear. and its thanks to them i love stark reality!!!!

[gabec86]

The double LP out now is a re-issue, the original is worth way over a thousand dollars. It has such a HUGE cult following it's incredible. The demand is so high for this original LP, but its soo rare, you won't find it anywhere.

[putabarata]

John Abercrombie!! damn foooooooooooooo

[incrediblecHiller]

Indeed! The whole Album is. Check it ou if you haven't already. :-)

[xekbixsi]

the whole album is absolutely amazing

[micr0cosm]

Incredible....you did it again...thanks bro :)

[samboyaus]

wow this song is awesome.. i heard the mix on stones throw 101 which is much much shorter.. i didnt realise how long this was

i wish i could find their cd :( so hard to get sum good cds in aussie

[incrediblecHiller]

online stores? ebay? really that hard to get?

[samboyaus]

i kno... at the moment just my own access to credit cards and all that bs makes it a lil difficult.. also i dont want it off ebay would rather a fresh copy

[incrediblecHiller]

i hear you. but there are also ebay stores, offering new products...

[wreckords]

Thank you Monty Stark for making this album. You've made your Sgt. Pepper!

[veuvecliquot]

thnk you again. did stone's throw put those out?

[incrediblecHiller]

Indeed. check the stonesthrow site for more info about them...

[veuvecliquot]

[incrediblecHiller]

Yes i got the reissue ("now" and "1969" to be precise). I know someday the original will be mine!
